I receive IB longterm and DLA. I have been claiming IB for approx 7 yrs and DLA for aprox 4 yrs. I received a letter today from the jobcentre with an appointment made for me next week regarding benefits and help finding work. Does anyone know what goes on at these meetings and must I go. I am by no means fit for work and this has made me really nervous.

They are apparently giving alot of incentives to sick/disabled people to go back to work... and keep their DLA.. somehow. Not 100% sure how it works... but if you are unfit for work, you are unfit for work and there's nothing they can do about it.
They are just trying to see if you are one of millions who could be employed, and to see if there is anything to help you.
Don't worry. Tell the truth.0 -
DLA is a non means tested benefit you can get this whilst working.
Perhaps because you have been on IB for a while (not judging) they need to reassess, i wouldn't worry too much TBH.Hit the snitch button!member #1 of the official warning clique.
